Hamilton Beach Rice and Hot Cereal Cooker vs Zojirushi NS-TSC18XJ

I can barely fit four tamales in the basket, and it will do enough veggies for two people. I can't see doing corn on the cob at all unless the ears are very small and I cut them into sections. The "cup" measure they are going by for rice is not a full cup. It's a cup they provide, which in the instructions they say is actually 3/4 of a cup

First I found that there was no measure line for 1 cup of rice(my old Zojirushi had it) so I just estimated it. Then I noticed that because the pot had a flat bottom with a slightly higher center (the white model has a round bowl shape bottom), 1 cup of rice couldn't evenly cover the bottom. The result was not bad but it obviously lacked the flexibility the white model had. So if you had a small family or you would like to have the flexibility of cooking only one cup of rice, you may want to consider a model with smaller capacity

Programme1 white rice-it has fixed 45min,which I am using frequently. Programme2 Quick rice-35 min, for an quick cooking. Programme3 whole grain-60 min,for different types of grains . Programme4 heat/simmer-5min,for reheat just slow heating purpose

Don't lose that scoop! --The cooking cycle takes about an hour, four times longer than standard rice cooking. This is because the cooking cycle incorporates soaking and steaming time, though, so it is worth it. --The manual says that it is designed for medium and short-grain rice, but does include substitute water measurements for long-grain. Keep in mind that if you want to cook long-grain, you can't use the marks inside the cooking vessel to measure the water

Maybe my review will be a little biased since we bought this after our super-cheap rice maker died and this one has several more features that I love about it. I love that it doesn't spew steam and nasty rice-water all over my counter like my old one did. I love that it has a countdown timer, a delay timer, and a keep warm feature. I love that the brown rice I cook seems to be fully cooked now as opposed to still crunchy in my old rice cooker

Um correctly again, you know, you don't want your rice to be mushy and just have the right texture to it. If you guys have any questions about this ri...

'Caveat - We make primarily white (Jasmine) rice, and have only used the steamer bin a few times. As of this review, it's 9 only 9 months old. That said, it's been flawless I'll bump to 5 stars if it holds up for at least a year. Know that this is my THIRD steamer in a year

7. Very easy to clean the non-stick inner cooking pan and inner lid that should be cleaned after every use. 8. Nice to have the bonus rice spatula, spatula holder(never have to worry where the spatula is), and the measuring cup

If you do choose to purchase this device, I would suggest you do a test run with only water to verify the temperature points of your cooker before cooking any animal proteins in it. I feel like I overpaid for this device. I was able to use it approximately 40 times resulting in a per use cost of about one dollar. Feels too high for me

This rice cooker makes consistently good rice. For the price, you should expect perfect rice every time. And you can get perfect rice every time. I would imagine that you might have to experiment with exact water levels in some cases or make minor adjustments, but so far, I've had good results with white rice, jasmine rice and brown rice
